Of the things I read that were published this year, I'd have to say my favorite was
600 Hours of Edward by Craig Lancaster. I won a proof copy through Goodreads so it wasnt the prettiest but I really enjoyed it and found it very interesting.
Overall, the book that meant the most to me this year was
Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne. My daughter had open heart surgery in April and we spent about a week in the ICU recovering. I spent many hours sitting by her side reading to her. We were in a double ICU with a baby boy who was also a heart baby and he would also calm down as soon as I started to read so I often kept reading even after Izzy fell asleep if he was still awake
After we finished Winnie, I tried several other books but my little girl apprently didnt like them--she would fuss at me until I started Winnie again so we just read it in a loop
When your baby (she was seven months old) is filled with tubes and wires and you are helpless to comfort them, the little things you can do become so very important. Reading to her was something I could always do in those early days when she couldnt be moved.
